The four of Gao Pet took the carriage along the road around the imperial capital overnight and went straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and if they wanted to feel Yangzhou in the shortest possible time, they could only march from the Tiger Prison Pass. Yuwen Chengdu's army also has Jihua who attacked Yuzhou, and it is impossible for the army to escort these two princesses and abandon the entire battle. Everyone knows the current situation of the Liu family, and the Liu family now urgently needs a large amount of political capital to rely on, of course, these political capital are all excuses for sending troops, so that the Liu family can justifiably send troops, so as to take over the military power and management rights of Lizhou, and completely occupy Yizhou.

Xiang Yu led the three thousand guards to advance in the predetermined direction, and the three thousand guards who broke away from Zhang Rang did not make a big fuss, he knew that the Liliang he could control now was not safe, and he planned to directly reprimand those generals, some of which had to be done in secret. The defection of these three thousand said that it would not bring an impact to Zhang Rang, it was absolutely a lie, Zhang Rang regarded the guards as the key to his own life, if even the guards could not be trusted, Zhang Rang did not know what district he Zuihou had to rely on to ensure that he had obtained what he had in hand.

The nets planted in the Guards began to strictly check every officer and group in the Guards, and secretly executed many other Shili spies. Zhang Rang cleaned up his guards on the one hand, and on the other hand, he urgently discussed with his subordinates how to deal with the Praetorian Guards. The Praetorian Guards are now concentrated on the front line of Jian'an and Jianye. Only the 11th Praetorian Guard Regiment was stationed on the first line of Tongguan, and the 9th Praetorian Guard Regiment was stationed on the first line of Tiger Pass.

This strategic point is the key to defending the imperial capital, and when the Guards have not yet taken shape, Zhang Rang can only choose to believe in the pretense of others to rectify the Haode Praetorian Guard. But now that Zhang Rang's Guards have begun to take shape, several small-scale battles have also made Zhang Rang very satisfied. In particular, several young officers who emerged from the Guards made Zhang Rang very satisfied. Especially a young general named Bai Qi. Now it has gradually begun to occupy an important place in Zhang Rang's heart.

Two strategic points must be reclaimed, and the withdrawn Praetorian Guards must give them a proper reason. These Praetorian Guards are now dissatisfied with Zhang Rang, and if they don't give these people a suitable reason, they may not even be able to withdraw these 600,000 troops, and another aspect is the matter of easing relations with the south. All the things were piled up, which suddenly gave Zhang Rang a headache, his subordinates had already given a solution, and now Zhang Rang needed to make a decision. It is also necessary to send a person as a messenger to the south to ease relations, and this Zhang Rang has not yet been elected.

This person must not only be Zhang Rang's cronies, but also be very familiar with the Liu family. Zhang Rang's side of such a person says more and less, and the key is to see what position this person is in. There are also many Zhang Rang's henchmen in the court, all of whom control the key departments of the empire, but these people Zhang Rang doesn't want to send them, and they don't dare to send them. The Liu family is not an ordinary family of princes and nobles, and it is unknown how many people these people can send back, except for those officials. The only ones left were the eunuchs around Zhang Rang.

Speaking of eunuchs, Zhang Rang's most trusted person is now none other than Zhao Gao. But Zhao Gao couldn't be sent out. First, Zhao Gao himself grew up in the palace and was not familiar with the Liu family. Second, the relationship between Zhang Rang and the Liu family is very tense, and it is almost an endless ending. Of course Zhang Rang would not believe in the betrayal of the two Praetorian Guards, and the Liu family would not fail to put this responsibility on Zhang Rang's head, this Zhao Gao is the only person who can read Zhang Rang's mind now. If Zhao Gao sent out, in case he was detained or killed by the Liu family, then it would probably be a little difficult for Zhang Rang to find such a person again.

Just when Zhang Rang was still meditating, suddenly a note appeared on Zhang Rang's table. Zhang Rang opened the note and glanced at it, his face instantly became very ugly, Zhang Rang's keen eyes quickly wrote a few notes and threw them on the ground, a man in black walked out of the darkness, collected the note and quickly disappeared into the darkness. And Zhang Rang's whole person is still sweating like rain, Zhang Rang, who has been in a high position for many years, has long developed the habit of pampering and not being shocked, but the news that Zhang Rang got can't help but make Zhang Rang afraid, and the people behind him finally can't help but want to do it, but who is this agent they elected? Who is most likely to become the next agent?

Zhang Rang naturally knows where he came to be, he has always been walking on thin ice, and what he is worried about is the person standing behind him. I didn't expect these people to finally can't help it, Zhang Rang thought of this with a trace of happiness, but also a trace of fear, simply because he is no longer the Zhang Rang who has nothing, and now the strength in Zhang Rang's hands is not something that anyone can push, anyone can take over, even if the person behind him wants to re-elect an agent, he must consider the strength in Zhang Rang's hands.

But who is this person? Zhang Rang has a few candidates in his heart, and if he wants to control it, he is nothing more than a eunuch like Zhang Rang, so the eunuchs who can be in power in the palace now are those few people. Zhang Rang began to filter them one by one from his heart, and the first thing Zhang Rang thought of was the most trusted Zhao Gao. After all, Zhao Gao was a eunuch who was promoted at rocket speed in a short period of time, and he had never heard of such a person as Zhao Gao in the palace before.

Zhang Rang quickly ruled out Zhao Gao for only one reason, that is, Zhao Gao was smart enough to know when he should do something. Moreover, Zhao Gao's foundation is still shallow, and the people behind him will not take the time to cultivate such a person to be their agent. He couldn't control the huge strength in Zhang Rang's hands, you must know that it took Zhang Rang a full forty years of hard work to climb to this position, and Zhao Gao was still too young.

Then among the rest of the people, there are only four permanent servants. Zhang Rang counted the advantages and disadvantages of each person one by one, Guo Ling and Xia Huai are already old, not suitable, and the people behind are not ready, at this time, they will definitely not choose these two people who are sick and crooked to come out as their agents. There are only Tong Kui and Wei Xian left, but these two are between the best, and it is difficult to decide who is most likely to become the new agent Zhang Rang for a while. After all, these two people are enough in terms of age and qualifications.

"Am I missing any factors?" Zhang Rang tapped his fingers on the table, and now it was almost certain that this agent must be one of the two people, Tong Kui and Wei Xian, but which one really made Zhang Rang not know how to choose. Zhang Rang compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two one by one, and Zuihou finally compared an advantage that Wei Xian had.

"Disappeared for half a year for no reason, and the net couldn't find any relevant information, only those people in the world can have this kind of ability. A gleam flashed in Zhang Rang's eyes, only Wei Xian was most likely to become their new agent. Wei Xian is much stronger than Tong Kui in terms of ability and courage, and more importantly, Wei Xian has many shortcomings and is easy to control, what they need now is a person who is easy to control.

"Could it really be you? Wei Xian, don't let me down. Zhang Rang quickly wrote the word Wei Xian on the paper and put two tokens on the net. This is the meaning of key supervision, and the number of members of Wei Xian's side has increased several times, and every move must be recorded.

"But it's also an opportunity, it's up to you to dare. Zhang Rang also found an opportunity from it, an opportunity to eradicate Wei Xian, or it can be said to be an opportunity to test Wei Xian's loyalty. (To be continued.) )
